Need some suggestions on this. This will sit on top of the enclosure where the humid hide is. I wouldn't want to risk placing the sensor inside the enclosure.

This is the one I'm looking forward to buy:

Do you guys recommend one with a probe?

Cheers.

If you place this on top of the enclosure then it will give you readings from the room the enclosure is in. You need to place it inside the actual enclosure to get the actual inside readings.
Placing a thermometer/hydrometer in the enclosure will not ruin it.

I recommend one with a probe so you can move the probe around to different areas in the enclosure.

I like the indoor outdoor acurite... I also bought the zoomed hygrow temp and humid controller. I like it for my indoor closed chamber. It has a day and nite setting and keep my Aldabra enclosure ambient air at 85 with 85% humidity.. And this has a display screen that will show you the enclosure reading.
